Abstract:The existence of a multitude of bilateral and multilateral climate funds, each of which have been established at different times to meet various needs, means that it can be difficult for private businesses (including SMEs) to identify potential opportunities and understand how they can get involved in projects and programmes. Thus, the objective of this guide is to better inform Dutch small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) about MCFs and the potential business opportunities that could be available for them through these funds. The guide provides information about 10 different funds, describing what each fund is, how it works, and giving examples of the types of projects they support. The guide also articulates the opportunities that might be available for Dutch SMEs to either access the funds themselves or get involved in project and programmes financed by the fund.
